Braun Strowman became Mr Monster in the Bank when he defeated Bobby Roode, Finn Balor, Kofi Kingston, Kevin Owens, Rusev, Samoa Joe and The Miz in the 2018 Men's Money in the Bank ladder match.

As we all know, Strowman would become one of only a handful of WWE Superstars to cash their Money in the Bank contract in advance, setting up a match for the future.

Strowman would, however, become one of a different handful of Superstars to unsuccessfully cash in his Money in the Bank contract. This was due to Brock Lesnar interrupting his match against Reigns for the title at Hell in a Cell.

However, The Monster Among Men almost didn't even make it that far as he feuded with Kevin Owens after winning the Money in the Bank match. The feud would see Owens beat Strowman by getting thrown off the top of the cage by him, before challenging him to defend his briefcase at SummerSlam.

The Monster Among Men managed to end the feud quite decisively by defeating Kevin Owens within a fairly comprehensive two minutes, ensuring he remained Mr. Monster in the Bank.
